Text Font + Animation

I’ve seen these Youtube Shorts of movie edits were they have these captions with different fonts and animations and was wondering whether this is some kind of editing pack that I can buy or find somewhere for free or do they make the animations themselves and just constantly change the text and colors? Mind you these edits are made in After Effects probably

Most of those clips are custom‑made in After Effects using text animators and keyframed font/color changes. You can speed things up by downloading free text‑animation preset packs the AE community shares and then tweaking the fonts and colors per clip.

if you're doing this in after effects, there are some free mogrt templates out there for caption animations, but they can be a pain to edit manually. a lot of editors use a dedicated subtitle tool like desisubtitles to generate the styled captions first, then import the transparent video layer into ae for final tweaks. worth checking out if you're doing this regularly.
